LeBron James said he felt inspired from watching “The Last Dance” documentary on Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls, but he doesn’t care for people twisting his words in the media.
In discussing his respect for Jordan on his Uninterrupted YouTube channel Monday, he was asked if he could’ve been teammates with Jordan.
“Me personally, the way I play the game — team first — I feel like my best assets work perfectly with Mike,” James said. “Mike is an assassin. When it comes to playing the game of basketball, scoring the way he scored the ball, [then] my ability to pass, my ability to read the game plays and plays and plays in advance.”
However, ESPN posted the story as LeBron always envisioning himself as Jordan’s teammate, not adversary.
LeBron didn’t appreciate that.
“No I didn’t say I envisioned MJ as a teammate not an adversary. A question was asked ‘Do I think I could have been a teammate of his and compliment his game.’ I love the greats and would have loved to play with them all during their runs because I a historian of the game but I also would die to compete vs every single one of them too! Don’t ever get it twisted!” LeBron tweeted.

It would’ve certainly been a treat to see LeBron and Jordan as both teammates and going against each other.
